Senior Spotlight: Thomas O'Shaughnessy, Crew

A four-year member of the Owls, Thomas O’Shaughnessy has been a major contributor for Temple since his first day on campus. After a brief stay in the freshman eight, he moved up to varsity boats shortly thereafter. O’Shaughnessy racked up gold medals at the Bergen Cup (V4), Murphy Cup (3V8), and Jacksonville Sprints (2V8) racing in varsity lineups all spring. From there, he was a mainstay in Temple’s top lineups, including winning Dad Vail gold with the second varsity eight in 2018. O’Shaughnessy made Temple’s Henley Royal Regatta roster in 2018, competing in the varsity four, also racing at the IRA National Championships that year. As a junior and senior, he raced in the Owl’s varsity eight boat, including a top-10 finish at the historic Head of the Charles Regatta in 2019. O’Shaughnessy will graduate from the College of Liberal Arts in May with a degree in Global Studies.
